Bigmouth strums again: was Andy Burnham’s Smiths jam in Kyiv the perfect soundtrack to a Britain in freefall?
By Zoe WilliamsThe UK prime minister clearly still adores the band. Perhaps he’s attracted to songs about sham justice and murderous meat factories, shot through with nihilism and exquisite despair

DiscogsDienstag: The Smiths – The World Won’t Listen
„Und immer, wenn wir traurig waren, und traurig waren wir ziemlich oft, gingen wir zu dir nach Hause und da hörten wir die Smiths“ singt Farin Urlaub im Refrain seiner zweiten Solo-Single „Sumisu“ (MusicCloud) aus dem Jahr 2001. Damit hat er auch mein Lebensgefühl der späten Achtzigerjahre sehr schön getroffen. The Smiths waren für mich damals sehr wichtig und ich habe mich in den Texten von Sänger Morrissey wiedergefunden. Mein Einstieg in ihre Musik war 1987 die Kompilation „The World Won’t Listen“, eine Zusammenstellung von Singles und deren B-Seiten, einige der berührensten Songs der Band. Heute bin ich ambivalent, was die Smiths angeht, nachdem Morrissey den Weg zu Xenophobie, Rassimus, Islamophobie und Verschwörungstheorien (Musikexpress) gefunden hat. Es stellt sich mir die ewige Frage, kann und soll man die Kunst vom Künstler trennen?
Ich lernte Morrissey musikalich als empfindsamen Sänger kennen, der sich für Tierrechte aussprach und gegen Thatcher, Monarchie und die allgemeinen Zustände in seiner Heimat. Vieler seiner Texte waren zudem sehr persönlich und trafen auch meinen Nerv. Heute kann ich The Smiths dagegen nicht mehr unbeschwert (was für ein Attribut in dem Zusammenhang!) hören und ich habe selbst im GothDiscoInferno erst ein Lied von ihnen gespielt, „What Difference Does It Make?“ in der Ausgabe 31. Dabei mag ich ihre Musik nach wie vor.
Jedenfalls ist „The World Won’t Listen“ ein sehr guter Einstieg gewesen. Nach den ersten drei Alben „The Smiths“ (1984), „Meat Is Murder“ (1985) und „The Queen Is Dead“ (1986) war es bereits die zweite Kompilation nach „Hatful Of Hollow“ (1984). Wie bereits erwähnt, wurden hauptsächlich die Singles zusammengestellt und mit „Panic“, „Ask“, „London“ und „Bigmouth Strikes Again“ geht das Album schon gut los. Es folgen „Shakespeare’s Sister“, nach dem sich die fast gleichnamige Band benannte, „There Is A Light That Never Goes Out“, „Shoplifters Of The World Unite“ und „The Boy With The Thorn In His Side“. „Bigmouth“ und „There Is A Light …“ stammen von Album „The Queen Is Dead“ und wurden nicht als Singles veröffentlicht.
Die zweite Seite der LP beginnt mit den sehr emotionalen B-Seiten „Asleep“, „Unloveable“, „Half A Person“ und „Strech Out And Wait“, gefolgt von der Single „That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore“. Den Abschluss bilden das instumentale „Oscillate Wildly“, „You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet, Baby“, das ursprünglich auch als Single erscheinen sollte, was dann aber nicht geschah und „Rubber Ring“.
Der Albumtitel soll darauf zurückgehen, dass Morrissey der Auffassung war, kommerzielle Radios und Plattenkäufer würden die Band nicht angemessen würdigen. Da hatte er im Grunde ja auch Recht.
Das Cover basiert auf einem Bild des deutschen Fotografen Jürgen Vollmer aus dem Buch „Rock ‚N‘ Roll Times: The Style and Spirit of the Early Beatles and Their First Fans“.Es war schon ein großer Glücksfall, dass sich die vier Musiker in Manchester zusammengefunden haben. Das Gitarrespiel von Johnny Marr ist extraordinär und auch Bassist Andy Rourke, der leider heute, am 19. Mai, vor 3 Jahren im Alter von 59 Jahren starb und Schlagzeuger Mick Joyce trugen ihre außergewöhnlichen Parts bei. Nach diesem Album erschien im selben Jahr noch „Strangeways, Here We Come“ bevor sich die Smiths trennten. Es folgte noch das Live-Album „Rank“ (1988) und in den Neunziger Jahren einige Best-Of-Alben. Ab 1989 gab es Rechtsstreitigkeiten um Geld, Andy Rourke und Mick Joyce verlangten eine höhere Beteiligung an den Tantiemen, die hauptsächlich Morrissey und Marr zuflossen, die allerdings auch die allermeisten Songs der Band geschrieben hatten. Rourke begnügte sich mit einer Pauschalzahlung, Joyce kämpfte gerichtlich weiter, was bis heute ungeklärt ist.
Ich war von der Musik so begeistert, dass ich mir auch das Songbook zu „The World Won’t Listen“ gekauft und mich auf der Gitarre an den Songs versucht habe.

THE SMITHS
Louder Than Bombs
2011 Europe 2xLP reissueWhen you’re in the mood for a sad, mopey bastard with his shirt open…
there can only be one choice.Louder Than Bombs was the second Smiths album I ever heard, and the first of theirs that I bought with my own money.
After stealing my older sister’s boyfriend’s cassette copy of The Queen Is Dead (and having my mind blown), I then set out to find as many Smiths albums I could find.
My local Good Vibrations had the CD version of this, and Strangeways, Meat Is Murder, and the self-titled soon found their way into my collection.Johnny Marr remains one of my all-time guitar heroes. And even though Morrissey grew up to be one of the douchiest twats of all time, my love for this band will never waiver.
One of the best compilations of a band’s work, PERIOD.

One day not too far in the future Morrissey will be gone, and someone will play this, as his depressing but appropriate epitaph.

Sou fã devoto dos #Smiths e acreditei na conjunção dos astros que me permitiu poder assistir ao vivo em São Paulo o hoje xenófobo cantor e poeta de raro talento #Morrissey.
O que não acreditei é que ele iria cancelar sua turnê pela América Latina pela QUARTA VEZ.

The Smiths, The World Won’t Listen, 1987 on Rough Trade
This is a compilation album—the second of three—including singles and b-sides from 1985-1987. Most of these tracks also appear on Louder Than Bombs (a 2xLP), but two are different versions and two are edits.
Fantastic collection of songs, including “Panic,” “Ask,” “Bigmouth Strikes Again,” “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out,” “That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore,” and “You Just Haven’t Earned It Yet, Baby.”
What teenager hasn’t felt “And I’ve got no right to take my place in the human race . . . “?
My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is a UK issue from 1987, pressed by MPO. (Louder than Bombs was released in the US in lieu of this record, which was not released on vinyl in the US until the 2011 reissue series).

The Smiths, Strangeways Here We Come, 1987 on Rough Trade.
Fourth (and final) studio album from The Smiths, produced by Stephen Street, Morrissey, and Johnny Marr and recorded at The Wool Hall in Beckington, Somerset. On constant repeat in my late 80s experience.
Strangeways was a prison in Manchester (now Manchester Prison) – The Smiths had previously used the Salford Lad’s Club for the cover of The Queen is Dead.
My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is the 2009 Rhino reissue which sounds great (though I don’t have an 80s pressing to compare it to).

#DJbunuel harvoin ottaa #LuxMedDJbunuel issa ns. kantaa mihinkään, vaan kun tapojensa mukaan soittaa parhaillaan vastikään menehtyneen muusikon musiikkia (#AndyRourke / #TheSmiths), sanoi, että #Lux ei kannata #Morrissey n poliittisia mielipiteitä, vaan kappale (Girlfriend in a Coma) soitetaan puhtaasti #musiikki n takia, ja #Rourke n kunniaksi.

A snapshot from my vast and quiet memory palace. On the day that Desert Storm had begun, I got tired of chanting slogans in a town square, so I entered a record shop on the seaside town of Rimini and found "Yes, I am Blind" by Morrissey. Such happiness I remember, when I discovered it had been written by Andy Rourke.

I love Andy Rourke's bass on Interesting Drug. When I'm walking the dog my brain goes on shuffle and the five-note descending line at the end of the second bar among my top 25 all time whistles.
